Time to be Jealous of Edmonton
The world's first waste-to-biofuels facility has opened in Edmonton.
http://www.edmontonjournal.com/busin..._lsa=7ab0-519e
Here's the thread from 2007 where the announcement of constructing this facility was discussed: http://forum.calgarypuck.com/showthread.php?t=46248
From the article:
Quote:
It’s expected that by 2016, 90 per cent of the city’s waste will be diverted out of the landfill due to this new facility. Currently, Edmonton recycles and composts 60 per cent of its waste.
...
About 10 per cent of the material going to the plant will be left over. Items like metal, ceramics and glass can’t be converted into methanol and will be taken to the landfill.
...
There is almost no difference in cost to the current operation. Currently, the city is paying $70 per tonne to transport and landfill waste. The new system costs $75 per tonne.
|
Edmonton is good at something.
However, the Edmonton Oilers are, and shall remain, no good.

Edmonton is a world leader when it comes to waste... because everything about that city is garbage.

The only good thing coming out of Edmonton is highway #2 south.

Well I just moved here and it's really not that bad. To me it seems like Calgary with less traffic.

They could invent a machine that turns turds into gold and I still wouldn't be jealous.

You made a subjective comment contrary to an objective fact. You can't do that.

I choose to believe they use it to make moonshine. No good, mullet-inducing garbage-based moonshine.

That's actually pretty impressive. Good on you Edmonton.
Your hockey team still sucks.
